From me experience, no.
Could there have been a power glitch? It could have knocked the one
bulb out and put the sensor out of sync. If you turn them off then
on, they stay on. Turn the switch or breaker off, wait a minute, then
put it back on.

Many of them have that feature, where if you turn it off, then on
again withing a couple secs, it goes into permanent on mode. That's
possible. I don't see any logical way one bulb being out would
result in permanent on. Like you say, try resetting it.
